Vauxhall Mokka SUV prices announced

15-Jun-2012

The Vauxhall Mokka SUV, in showrooms in November 2012, is available to order today at a starting price of just £16,995.

The new sub-compact SUV can accommodate five adults in comfort, despite its compact 4.28 metre length. Its key rivals will be cars like the Skoda Yeti and from Nissan, the Juke and Qashqai. Like all Vauxhalls, the Mokka comes with the Vauxhall Lifetime Warranty. “The Mokka takes its design cues from larger SUVs and integrates them into a compact, yet modern form,” said Duncan Aldred, Vauxhall’s Chairman and Managing Director.

Available in four trims – S, Exclusiv, Tech Line and SE – the Mokka comes with generous levels of standard equipment, including Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) radio, air conditioning, descent control, cruise control, aux-in and a multi-function trip computer.

Mokka engines and transmissions

Three engines, ranging in power from 115 to 140PS, will be available from launch. The 1.6-litre petrol produces 115PS and 155Nm of torque, and with its standard start/stop system delivers a combined 43.5mpg. With 140PS, the 1.4-litre turbo is the Mokka’s most powerful petrol engine and brings with it standard four-wheel drive and sub-150g CO2 emissions.

The Mokka has a choice of two diesel models, both of which use Vauxhall’s 1.7 CDTi 130PS engine, with CO2 emissions as low as 124g/km. In front-wheel drive form, the 1.7 CDTi is available with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission, and with all-wheel drive the Mokka comes with the six-speed manual only. Like the petrol-powered cars, all manual models have Vauxhall’s fuel-saving start/stop system as standard.
